Katherine Daniell is a Research Fellow in the ANU's Centre for Policy Innovation. Her current research focusses on resolving the challenges associated with implementing multi-level participatory processes to bring about coordinated policy, adaptation strategies and local action in complex socio-ecological management situations. In this field, she has recently worked in France, Australia and Bulgaria on projects related to water governance, risk management and climate change adaptation. Her other research interests include public policy innovation processes, developing decision-aiding theory for "multi-accountable" groups and encouraging effective inter-organisational collaborations. Katherine is currently a member of the guest editorial team for a special feature in the Journal Ecology and Society on "Implementing participatory water management: recent advances in theory, practice and evaluation", a compilation of papers that brings together policy, management and research lessons from the European Union's AquaStress and NeWater Integrated Projects. Katherine has received many awards and honours for her work including a General Sir John Monash Award and being named in the Who's Who of Australian Women.
